Description

Version - 1.2 RC4

When a query with an OR contains a clause that results in 0, lucene returns 0
hits even if the other clause returned matches. For example, the search
expression:
freedent OR trident
returns 0 matches. However just searching on freedent returns several matches.
Searching on trident returns 0 matches.
